In the organizer's words:

The Awesome Scampis play celebratory ska and pop punk with horns and German lyrics. Since the band was founded in 2005, the eight likeable musicians from the Ruhrpott have been putting a big grin on the faces of audiences at every concert. Audiences and the press agree: the entertaining shows with a fat brass sound - consisting of trumpet, trombone and saxophone - are celebrated hard and promise a wonderful mixture of a colorful party on and in front of the stage. This band is simply fun.

Comparisons with bands like Sondaschule, Rantanplan or Farin Urlaub are very obvious. With an incredible amount of energy and good humor, the Awesome Scampis deal with topics from everyday life, love and friendships in their lyrics - but serious topics such as depression or current political situations also find their way in. Always with a certain wink and self-irony. And above all: catchy, infectious and danceable.

Since their formation in 2005, the band has played countless live shows at home and abroad. They have played on festival and club stages with music greats and as support for bands such as Sondaschule, Russkaja, Montreal and Rantanplan. They have also supported international acts such as Mad Caddies, Jaya the Cat or Buster Shuffle and many others as support acts. Ever since their shows at Eselrock (Wesel), Juicy Beats (Dortmund) or as a permanent guest at Rock am Beckenrand (Wolfshagen im Harz), the Awesome Scampis have also been known to audiences at larger festivals.

The band is currently working on new material, which is expected to be released in spring 2026.
